How do you walk in shallow waters <br />When you need to swim in sea <br />With a depth of understanding <br />Of space and liberty <br /> <br />How do you swim in shallow waters <br />Stifled, chained, not free <br />Restrained and unable <br />To be what you want to be! <br /> <br />How do you grow in shallow waters <br />When around you are small minds <br />Closed, bigotted opinions <br />Of the mind-damaging kind <br /> <br />How do you wake to shallow waters <br />Who helps you see the way <br />To a deeper, fuller ocean <br />And a brighter every day<br /><br />vanessa hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shallowness/
